From Charles Robinson's "Winners and Losers" column at Yahoo Sports:
The decision to squib the kickoff with 11 seconds remaining cost the Bears the game, plain and simple. What was with the soft zone in the secondary, allowing Michael Jenkins to catch a 26-yard pass to put Jason Elam in field-goal range? This is a team that could be 6-0 right now with some better coaching decisions.
Agreed, with the one caveat that there is virtually never one decision that costs a game. There were plenty of poor decisions to go around. However, once you overcome your poor decisions/play to take the lead with 11 seconds... you have to stop making those same mistakes that nearly cost you the game already. "Could be" is for wimps, but still... 6-0 would have had a nice ring to it.

i heard an interview with dusty devorchek(sp) in which he said, "we're better than our record shows." we'll actually dusty, you are not. There is not a column in the standings for near wins, or shoulda wins. You're team has won 3 games and lost 3 games, therefore you are a .500 football team, as your record would suggest. Quite worrying about shoulda's and coulda's and woulda's and win some football games dusty. and who you crappin'. (sorry had to throw that in there)
